MasterChef Australia on 10 – Larissa Plates Up A Melting Pot Of Cultures. Meet One Of The Top 18 Contestants On MasterChef Australia: Secrets & Surprises.
Inspired by her Ukrainian and Russian heritage, Larissa’s biggest influence has been her babushka, whose sharing of traditions has shaped the cook she is today.
Having fled their homeland during the Russian Revolution, three of Larissa’s grandparents resettled in the Xinjiang region of China. This fusion of cultures meant that Larissa was raised on a unique melting pot of flavours. Time spent living and working in the USA and South Korea further broadened her palate and diverse cooking style, while inspiring her dreams to one day open a small cooking school and write about food and culture.
Describing her cooking as generous and abundant, Larissa currently lives an urban-farm lifestyle in Adelaide with her husband, twin boys and her much-loved heritage chickens.
